I’ve hinted that over the last eight years – in spite of dishonest reporting to the contrary – that indeed our interrogation methods have produced intel that has saved literally thousands of lives.

I am of knowledge of these facts, but not at liberty to speak about them. That is unless a higher authority OK that info. Former VP Cheney is calling for the release of that information now. Though I wish he would have would have authorized it earlier.

“Now that the memos showing the rulings of interrogation techniques have been released, the Obama administration should release additional documents that show what the interrogations yielded, former Vice President Dick Cheney told FOX News on Monday.

In an interview with FOX News’ Sean Hannity to be aired on “Hannity” Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them.

Watch “Hannity” at 9 p.m. ET on FOX News Channel.

“One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn’t put out the memos that showed the success of the effort,” Cheney said.

Cheney said he’s asked that the documents be declassified because he has remained silent on the confidential information, but he knows how successful the interrogation process was and wants the rest of the country to understand.

“I haven’t talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw, that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country,” Cheney said. “I’ve now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was.”

Cheney’s interview at his home in McLean, Va., came just hours before President Obama traveled to nearby Langley, Va., to offer CIA employees his “full support” in their mission.”

Internally there about zero support in the agency for President Obama since he decided to release the memo. Many believed he crossed a line that will not be forgiven. It’s never good for a President to be on the bad side of the spooks, ask Bush.

Nevertheless, if Obama is really trying to get out all the information regarding the interrogation programs then he’d better release the information about how they did produce valuable information that thwarted attacks around the US and the world over the last seven years.

But that would show that the program worked, and that’s not in the script for the left.
